Even so, how can it possibly be $4000 more to travel 6 hours to Kettering than 3 hours to Milwaukee? Gas is expensive these days, but I have trouble seeing them spending an extra 4K to drive an extra 3 hours.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST Adds District Event Model Alternative to FRC Program

I'm not actually sure. I just picked a city relatively close to team Superior Robotics (?), who complained about this issue while participating in the district system this year. Perhaps they rely on bus transportation for their team?
